But conduct plays a role whether you like it or not. And TO rubbed a lot of people the wrong way and there are consequences for that. Not being a 1st ballot nomination is not that unusual. Players needs to be tip top all around to earn 1st ballot honors.
That is cheating. He altered the game.
Who is to say he didnt bet against his own team? Oh thats right, petes the one who claims that. Just a couple of years ago he didnt bet at all, now its he only bet on his team? Give me a break, money talks
